    SUMMARY: Titans third-string QB Matt Mauck will start on Sunday in Jacksonville. Mauck worked with the first team offense for the second day this week as Steve McNair appears doubtful due to a strained pectorial muscle. Coach Jeff Fisher said Mauck has shown steady improvement this week. "The tempo's been great. He's shaved about eight minutes off both practices the last two days. He's in and out of the huddle. He knows what to do," Fisher said. "So we've just got to wait on Steve and see what happens." Fisher said there's a chance McNair will throw today. If McNair doesn't throw today, Fisher said he thinks "it will be hard" for the veteran to play.

    Mauck went to high school like a 45 minute drive from me, we played against his school every year. Go Matt WOO! I hope he shows us a lot, so we don't have to draft a QB.

    Does anyone think just maybe they are starting Matt becuase Matt gives us the best chance to lose? I mean I'm not sure and maybe hes been playing great in practice and they want to see what he can do. I dont know. Maybe hes given up on Billy, who knows. Its just a thought. Maybe Jeff doesnt want to win the last game. I mean come on hes the 3rd string QB with little to no game experience. I'm probably wrong but its just a thought.

    I think if Mauck does good, we wont draft a qb in the early rounds, also if Mauck does good i think Volek will get traded. I think we could get a 3rd or 4th rounder or maybe even a safety. Mauck could be starting for us next year if mcnair doesnt return. Being that we are in the "rebuilding mode" It sounds rediculus but it might happen. (I hope Mc comes back or we get Leinhart, Jacobs, Young, or Cutlur) I sure hope it doesnt come to us starting Mauck next season.

    I can't see them possibly considering Mauck as a starter. They may see him as a good backup in the Volek mold, but that's probably it.

    Norm Chow called him "spunky". That's how you hear overachievers and gym-rats described, but not quality NFL starters.

    IMO, this is a ploy to NOT fall from 2nd to 6th (or from 6th to 11th) this year...AND to potentially set Mauck as the number 2 next season...I think the death knell for BV has sounded...

    The Titans are 4-11. They want to look at the younger guys and Volek didn't play well last week. Common sense would lead us believe that the Titans would like to see more of Mauck going into the offseason so they know where they stand at that position.

    They're doing the same thing with Bell and Randall. Here's where we start to see if Chow can be a developer of pro QB's as well as college QB's.

    My guess is probably not.
